The uncertainty of the fertility treatment outcome, the sense of a lack of control, and the probing questions from friends and family, can make fertility treatment an extremely stressful experience. When treatment cycles end in disappointing news, like no pregnancy or a pregnancy loss, the emotional effects can be devastating. Recognizing the signs of stress before they become excessive can make a huge difference in maintaining healthy relationships, and having a better chance to achieve your dream of having a healthy child. We at RPMG actively encourage our patients to seek health-promoting, stress-reducing activities like yoga, exercise, meditation, or acupuncture. Some patients will find stress relief through support groups such as Resolve, or through a Mind-Body program. Others seek counsel through referral to a psychologist who specializes in infertility. The bottom line is that individuals/couples and we as physicians need to recognize the importance of integrating effective methods of stress reduction into the treatment process. RPMG is dedicated to helping you achieve this goal.
